alot of people have been asking for UV reactive acrylic here la bro.... and if im not mistaken....there has yet to be any success stories.....those kinda acrylic abit hard to find...somemore u looking for 8mm thick

even if u go to ad shops oso they just might go "huh??? wtf is that??"... i think the best thing u can do is go to places which sell acrylic and bring along a PSU, power cable for the PSU, and also a set of UV CCFL....test it there n then itself in a dark room a hassle, yes...but not much choices already right?

and of course as always, IF u are successful in finding your acrylic....let us know where yah

oh yeah...before u do all that...try PM ianho. he has his own acrylic supplier for his case mod business....mebbe he can check and see?

can it turn to green ar? ive seen one that turns blue under UV..

it depends on what UV reactive dye they add.
where you found that?

erm...

i think the acrylic that came with my casing has that blue tint...

i dunt know, or is it because the uv light shines the purple light

owh well.... have to really check it out, once i get the proper UV CCFL...



Bro,

will check for u here, i think there is a shop i found once, but not sure wether its uv or not, will go check it out and confirm with u

A suggestion, can you spray it with reactive paint like what AllnGap did.

is the paint transparent?

or can use Fluorescent paint....

Cheap RM 10 per bottle

that's not UV reactive acylic, that's perspex.

ICUTE casings usually use perspex for the side panel.
it will glow with a bit blueish colour under UV.

perspex is easier to get scratches and crack easily under stress as compared to acrylic

i guess... my original sidewindow is that material... then.

it has a blue glow... or purplish....

is this perspex material easy to get ?

I think Powerlogic Viper also is using the same "perspex" or whatever things. It will turns blue/purple when flush with UV lights.


@Metalzone

Try this, get some tinted and try to light it with UV. If lucky, u will find some tinted will glow.

* I dont know how to spell tinted/tainted whatever. The thing we use to cover up car's screen/glass whatever.

u spelled tinted correctly bro,

are u sure it will glow under UV light ?

Go to any glass framing or photo framing shops. RM10 per square feet and the guy will cut for you.

hhmm its the same thing as acrylic ...
so if u go to any advertising store, or even art stores, they shud carry them.
i got an A2 size, 2mm for RM 12.

owh....

i think this perspex looks better coz it has that glow under uv lights

huhu......

u just say Perspex ? when u go there ?

i had to explain a lot just to tell them i wanted acrylic

Thanks a lot for your effort. anyway, the thing about spraying it with flourescent paint, whether transparent or not, is it will affect the clarity of the acrylic.

but if we spray the acrylic it wont be transparent right? like what allngap did to his girfriends' case... it will give solid color... even he is using non-floro white color... i think its going to be the same with floro paint... right? unless u can find flat coat spray that glow... (is there any??)
